#rattie roller coaster #<- original posts! probably mostly gonna be reblogged from my main but oh well

going through pictures at my grandmothers house and then my mom handed me cedar point brochures from 1996?

The first time I ever rode a roller coaster was the old wooden coaster at the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in Vancouver. This was back in the mid 1980s, before the big renovation, so it still had shitty plywood cars where the only thing preventing you from being thrown bodily from the track was your own weight and a single metal cross-bar to hang onto. I just barely cleared the "you must be this tall to ride" sign, but I was abnormally tall for my age and the operators either didn't notice or didn't care how skinny I was, so I was well below the minimum safe weight; when my car hit the big drop I was lifted from my seat by the sudden acceleration, and hung suspended in mid air for the full duration of the drop, held in place by my grip on the safety bar. It was the most magical experience of my life, and one I look back on with fond nostalgia, which probably explains a thing or two.

if you want more airtime like this, when you’re either gently lifted out of you seat (floater airtime) or suddenly brought up (ejector airtime), some good rollercoasters off the top of my head are:

skyrush at hershey park

voyager at holiday world

el toro at six flags: great adventure

maverick and magnum xl at cedar point

It's just not the same on modern coasters with proper restraints; it's missing the thrill of sporting with death.

We almost lost my little brother on the Blue Streak at Cedar Point because he was skinny. We hung onto his legs the whole ride. Good Times.

I have some incredible news for you

canada's wonderland! technically my first international theme park even though it's right across the border. as is expected from someone with my url the arrow suspended coaster is my favorite (it's the tallest and tied for the fastest of its type currently operating !!)

#rattie roller coaster #though their b&m giga is a close second!!#leviathan and fury 325 are pretty much the same which is part of why i can't in good conscience call leviathan my fav at cw #even tho fury 325 is only my second favorite at carowinds. (first being copperhead strike if you care)
